I like to use pine for email - however, it has crappy POP3 support. What I've done is to put calls to fetchmail (available as a .deb) in cron to automagically download my email. Fetchmail is a program that will pull email off a POP3/IMAP/CompuServe (remember them?)/What have you account, and put it in your local mail spool. Some other POP3 clients are XCmail, XFMail, TkRat, TkMail, Postillion, and several more I can't name right off the top of my head. All of those (except XCmail) are available as part of Debian. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
